View 1 RepliesI have my text in an xml file, using html text/CDATA, and in my flash file I have this code:
[Code]...
The links are working fine. But when I try to make sentences within a <h1> tag in xml, nothing happens. What do I do wrong??
I want to create animation of the text where at frame 1, letter spacing is 0 and at frame 200, letter spacing is 60 for specified text. This process is unsuccessful via motion tween in cs4 flash, and i guess neither in earlier versions, nor that I have done that before. But I was certain that it would be very straight forward to achieve via motion tween, so far it feels that I was wrong and for such simple animation and straight forward concept, why it doesn't work, again, via motion tween. I presume I can write AS3 code spinet that would run every frame and increase or decrease property value for letterSpacing, to achieve the effect. Why such basic manipulation of text can not be done via motion tween?
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if anyone has any input on my question.I've been trying to figure out for a few hours now how to make words or sentences animate in and "pause" for a few seconds (for the user to read) and then continue to play. I know I can tween it, but I wanted to do it via actionscript. I got it to animate in and come out but i couldn't figure out how to have it hold for a few sec. I will have more than one sentence animate in and out.
View 8 RepliesI've got an inputfield.OnChange Event Handler.When someone types a letter, i want the letter to become 0, then 1, then 2, and so on until 9 and then i want the letter to be there.And when they click on another letter, same effect happens.so at the end if i typed, "testing", each letter scrolls 0-9 like a roll dial and settles on the letter typed.What i've managed to do is make it work, but if i type at normal speed and not slow, i end up getting something like: t32t43g
View 3 RepliesI have a combo box that I'm trying to enter a letter for to search values for that particular letter and I keep getting this error. Every other combo box works fine when a key is pressed so I'm not sure why this particular combo box registers an error. The complete error looks like this:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

View 15 RepliesIn many RPG games, messages appear in textboxes letter by letter (usually accompanied by a repetitive beeping). I've been trying to simulate this in Flash for a game I've been working on in AS2. When it comes to programming, I'm fairly new and so far, the best I've got is this:
var num:Number = 0;
var s:String = "This message will appear.";
function onEnterFrame():Void {

I'm using htmlText property for some text, what I'm doing is 3 images aligned to the left, one under the other, and allow each line of text to be next to one image.Here is the html used:
<img src="image1.png" width="50px" height="50px"/><p>First line to be next to image 1</p>
<img src="image2.png" width="50px" height="50px"/><p>Second line to be next to image 2</p>
<img src="image3.png" width="50px" height="50px"/><p>Third line to be next to image 3</p>
I expect each line to appear right next to the image, but instead of that, when I use the string with textField.htmlText = myString; I get all the sentences next to my image1.png, not each next to their own image. I've tried anything, adding style and putting a height to the p tag, no effect. I'm running out of ideas. This seems rather elementary to achieve, however, it seems very complicate with AS3.
I have a list of twenty sentences (white characters) that I want to fade in from black, hold for (n) seconds, then fade out to black. I can do this by tweening but can it be done in AS2 in one frame?
1) Sentence one (n=3 seconds)
2) Sentence two (n=3 seconds)
3) Sentence three is slightly longer and would take longer to read (n=10 seconds)
4) ...etc
Is there a way in actionscript to search through a block of text and extract certain sentences for example or pieces of information that match a certain criteria. What im thinking of doing is loading in some data from an XML file and searching through to see if it contains a link and/or an URL

I need a bunch of letters to fall from the top of the stage and fall into place to form words at the bottom of the stage. Would you do this in actionscript or make each letter a symbol and do it frame by frame?

View 2 RepliesI'm building a web site for a client. He asked me to make an animation on the homepage to show at start a world image / a globe (just the company logo) that "expands", like if it opens (from behind) into a plain map (which is another image) of the world and then show a text over it. I know and develop in PHP / MYSQL / Photoshop / JQuery effects/plugin but sadly (are we sure ? :P ) I know nothing about flash and actionscript.
So I was wondering if you could guide me to what to do, where should I start?Consider I video edit since 2003ish so I'm not lost here, I was thinking making a video about it and the show it on the page but doesn't feel like a good solution considering that the last frame should be static and more importantly the file size!. Is at least possible to do it in Flash?
I have an advantage over this situation though: I learn fast, so speak up :) what should I do?

The first question: How do you make a symbol a looping animation? Say I want to make a short loop which I can repurpose later.. something such as a falling raindrop or a moving mouth. A webseries I enjoyed when I was younger, Bonus Stage, used the same moving mouth animation most of the series.. I'd like to learn how to make that.
The second, and I'd like to take advantage of the tag on the link leading to this forum that reads "there is no such thing as a stupid question in here"... How do you change the size of the brush tool?
I haven't used Flash in quite a while and wanted to make an animation to display quite a few photos. As i'm out of practice, linking videos kind of skipped my mind and therefore my first file which has lots of images in has become quite heavy and slow to run.My problem is... Is there a quick and easy way i can directly switch one part of an animation with another, keeping all the tweens and actions that are on it? (EG I want to switch out images for the same images saved as smaller files)
Or, is there a way i can scale down the movie in size to make it run smoother? I am going to have quite a lot of photos in a series of linked videos, but as i forgot about it, my first video has too much content and is too big in file size. It can be quite big as it's only for use on my mac (not online) but i still need it smaller as it won't run smoothly.
So I'm making a platforming game, how do I make my character have a different animation for when he runs or jumps?
View 4 RepliesI currently made a flash animation. the background is the only one that is animated and scrolls to the right. But my problem is why it lags? Is there any way to not make it lag? here's a link of the swf file you can view: http:[url]......I tried it on a high spec pc and it does not lag when it is in normal screen(640x480) but when I view it in full screen it lags. There are no scripts or anything in this file just animation.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make an animation and it seems like an impossible task. I'm not a beginner, and this is harder than it first seems to be.So this is what I need: to make a tween between a partial small circle to a big circle. What I mean is I want to use the Oval Primitive tool and on frame 1 I'll have a circle (radius 100px) with Start Angle: 0 and End Angle: 230 and on frame 50 I'll need the same 100px circle with Start Angle: 0 and End Angle: 300.
